Not being rude either but what cant you grasp about it being a bit clickbait as well as it’s obviously not the only thing out there… seriously some people
you can tell the weather/sun is different in each image.
About 50% of my game time here is sim and I’ve never considered there to be a Russian bias in terms of cockpit visibility. Very cherry picked results this.
Window sizes etc are historical. Not subject to Gaijin’s creativity, I hope you understand this.
Both images were picked because they are both on the same map with sun coming from behind and Infront. For someone who plays sim alot you don’t seem to know.
Yea the planes have x geometry with isn’t in question. What is the fact is they are using a white reflection that wouldn’t even exist in the USA jets literally, yet the Russian jets have a toned down black reflection that doesn’t get in the way. It’s not really a bias without knowing the devs intentions but it certainly makes flying USA sux compared to Russian jets. Hope you understand
As much as I agree that Russian Dev bias exists. I dont think this specific issue is a case for it. I play Britain, in Sim, and have never encountered the kind of reflections seen. and the one time that there was a visual issue, it was a bug that got fixed.
Can you provide a list of aircraft that this noticable reflection is apparent in please?

For something like exact glare effects to be compared you need exact angles.
I don’t see that here because you can tell the sun is coming from quite many degrees different.
But interpret it as you will, I don’t see russian bias here. People tend to fish for evidence when it comes to these.
Note I barely play Russia anymore so am not biased myself, just a keeper of the peace whenever someone screams “bias” which is done in the name of US/Ger/Rus quite often.
I also did a nice loop and a 360 level turn in my (non russian) Swedish jet with a low sun without suffering nasty glare effects which by OP’s non exact methods have cancelled out the Russian bias.

Honestly of all the stupid arguments of their being Russian bias this literally is the worst argument I have ever seen, honestly this post is a joke and I can’t not take this seriously at all. All the “evidence” is very limited and shows a very limited amount of jets, in total assuming no TT jet was purchased with free rp seeing as the OP has only done 839 battles their is no way these were all researched the only aircraft in it are the F-4S, Su-22M3, F-5C (which was shown twice), and Mig-23 ML, the images themselves can’t be fairly compared since each one was done at a different angle so you are trying to compare them in different places and the only consistent thing seems to be the time in the match so anyone could argue that it’s already an unfair comparison.

Thank you! Honestly surprised it’s not immediately obvious to anyone.
Yea sorry I should have listed the ones I know of. If you have not encountered it then I’d say you have never adjusted your seat height in game.
F5 series F4 series all phantoms across all nations and others I can’t remember their names but it’s pretty much every American jet with the same reflection it wouldn’t be that bad if the reflection wasn’t white
Yea I can’t believe it isn’t a major pain in the butt for any one who flies phantoms which are super common. Cracks me up how negative most are especially about the title lol
Hey thanks for actually putting effort in to test. Just to be clear the title is a bit of a click bait but the photos are as accurate as I can make the in the same setting.
To see what I am talking about please test flight the USA phantom premium and raise seat height in cockpit. Maybe I should have said the steps to recreate it. I think I need to revise my post. Thanks very much
I dont recall seeing it ever on the FGR2, though has been a while. Tomorrow i’ll see if I can replicate it on that aircraft. I dont have US aircraft, so i’ll leave it to others to double check.
Adjusting the seat however, does somewhat make sense though, if that is what you are doing to achieve these results. Sounds more like an edge-case bug than a proper “bias based” issue
Sorry for the lack of evedence but the site stopped me from uploading more. I have so many shots showing how hard it is to see when the reflection is bad.
The title is a bit misleading but it gets people talking and I’m vainly hoping it gets to the devs and something actually happens. I like this game and want to enjoy the time I spend in it and not make myself blind from squinting through a pointless reflection. USA tree is just something I started with because I didn’t know any better
Yea poor title but triggers Convo.
I think what is happening is people don’t know that you can adjust your seat.
What I see is Russian jets are commonly used to pvp in sim and everyone else is ground pounding. It blows my mind how almost no one does it.
Let’s go under the assumption i can recreate (which is easier because I don’t have time for too much of this).
2 bugged American jets is not Russian bias. Why not French/Italian/Chinese/Swedish/British/German/israeli bias?
That AH is clearly a bug though, so why not bug report and be done with it? Maybe a post about poor QA on well used jets. Why stir the pot by calling bias to an arbitrarily related nation? Ironically, falsly calling bias IS bias. Enough of that already by players in this game and society in general. It gives the people (falsly) calling “Russophobia” a foundation of truth.
I dont know if I entirely agree with that, I see far more Su-39s at the moment than any other soviet jet in EC8. I think its more likely an issue of canopy angle and that the reflection is just unfortunately occurs on the F4s/F5s. With data, a bug report can probably issued though and might see a fix.
Though certainly a lot of green pilots flying the Premium F4s too
from the pictures you posted I’d say the american cockpits have much better visibility compared to soviet cockpits but sure, proof, ok
It’s the reflection that you can’t see through. What a donkey opinion
MiG-21’s, especially earlier ones, have donkey visibility imo.
The windscreen wouldn’t even have a reflection like this. Yet people think it’s correct… Lol
I guess you struggle with seeing what the post is really about. It’s awareness that reflections like this would exist. Are not even across jets and have negative effects that ruin the gameplay. Not all jets are accessable but the phantoms are rife with ott reflections. May find more in the future play…
